Worm ID (without pic, sorry)

I've seen this guy a few times only. Only when the lights are out. It doesn't appear to be very light-sensitive like bristle worms are. It appears to be 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick, no idea how long since I only see it IN my sand bed. This worm has black and white stripes that run HORIZONTALLY along it's body. So not like a peanut worm, but stripes like a swissguard basslet (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+21+57&pcatid=57). Also, it is not segmented and does not have bristles. I can't tell head from tail and haven't seen both ends so I don't know if it has any antennae or jaws or anything.

My google-fu is usually pretty good, but I can't seem to find this guy.

Live rock is caribbean/atlantic in origin (Tampa Bay Saltwater)

Thanks in advance!
 
Send Richard at TBS an email describing your critter. He should be able to tell you what it is.
